SJVU is a license-exempt university that complies with the following regulations: SECTION 1005.06(1)(f), F.S./Rule 6E-5.001, Fla. Adm. Code.
Since our programs are not currently accredited, we offer our training to a very specific type of student with a high educational or professional background, who does not require validation by the government or public universities, nor wishes to use this training to obtain a visa.
Therefore, our target students will be those who wish to expand their knowledge, better understand the world in which they live, complement their prior education in other fields, and/or apply the skills they will acquire in their work environment, daily life, or specific religious practice.

Learning
The main characteristics of our university is to focus on academic excellence and educational innovation in each program. We strive to ensure that every student has a unique learning experience.
Our students are primarily:
Community Leaders and Clergy: Priests, pastors, imams, or rabbis who are already active in their roles but need tools for interfaith dialogue to serve their local communities.
Activists and Aid Workers: Individuals affiliated with religious or peace-focused NGOs who seek specialized knowledge, but whose careers depend more on their experience and contacts than on the accreditation of a degree.
Life-long Learners: Retirees and senior professionals who want to better understand today’s world out of personal interest.
Writers and Speakers: People seeking to build their personal brand in the realm of independent speaking engagements or publications.
The total cost (Program Fee + Tuition + Global Experience) for full-time study (1 year; 36 credits) in all our Master Programs is $12,600, but we offer a wide range of scholarships:
Merit-based scholarships
Students with an excellent academic or professional record may be eligible for a scholarship covering between 10% and 30% of the total cost of the Master.
Global impact scholarships
Students from developing countries may be eligible for substantial scholarships that will be applied to the total cost of the Master program.
Faith-based / Interfaith
Students who come from religious congregations, belong to religious institutions with which our University has an agreement, or work with or collaborate with institutions that promote interfaith dialogue may be eligible for significant scholarships that will be applied to the total cost of tuition for the master’s program.
Installment plan
Any student who wishes to do so can pay for the master’s program in installments while they are studying, allowing them to begin their studies with us for as little as $100 to $300 per month.
